EFB will not load flight plan into the plane

Every plane it seems. Will load the departure airport and the first waypoint but that’s it. Anyone suffer this issue?

Yep, can’t get a complete flight plan to load in anything. Been trying for hours today. Mostly it’s just the first leg that loads but often the STAR is missing and you’re left flying off into the distance.

I’m finding it impossible to fly IFR at the moment.

Hi @silentsinger75 ,

Thank you for your post! Your topic has been moved to a sub-category of the User Support Hub

Yep, pretty tedious & frustrating.

Same here in career mode and it is total random. Now I change the FL every time before I accept a mission and resend the plan to ATC and avionics and so far it doesn’t happen anymore. Maybe try it and see if it works for you, too.

I’ve tried every combination I can think of. It just doesn’t work sadly.

See related report: Flight Plan Setup, Filed & Pushed to Avionics on World Map via EFB not Being Sent to Aircraft

I believe you have to load the flight plan after you are in the aircraft.

Before, after, it doesn’t matter. Also doesn’t matter if it’s a G1000, G3000 or the new avionics in the PC12. The result is still the same. Departure airport and first waypoint only.

I am getting the entire flight plan

Do you have an example flight plan that is not syncing, and can you say exactly which plane or planes you have tried this in? I realize you’ve already said the avionics, but there are different versions it different planes, so in order to check on this issue the exact planes and flight plan used would need to be known.

208B, TBM 930, PC12, SF50. Got bored after that. Not sure what you mean by an example flight plan, pick any with a departure, arrival & waypoints and it’s the same. My last was from EGEO to EGGP.

On my last attempt I used Simbrief and that worked but the official planner does not, this is with every plane and avionics type I’ve tried so far.

I am so glad I found another person with my issue - I was beating my brains out trying to get the EFB to work. It will not file a flight plan with ATC on the world screen. No Stars, No Sids. Cannot upload a flight plan from Sim Brief. I guess I have the whole shabangabang happening. Are you continuing to have this issue?

I have the same issue in early career it’s driving me insane. Almost crashed into a mountain because it would follow an approach.

Guys I think I had the same issue till I passed my IFR cert. Then all my flight plans loaded to the avionics like it should. Before my IFR cert I only got the departure and arrivals no en route waypoints to follow the flight plan. Also make sure you press file flight plan with atc first then send to avionics. Works for me.

Cessna 172 the load/save pln file is greyed out and i cant do anything. Havent tried other planes yet

It’s intermittent with me. I have passed IFR Cert, and sometimes a saved flight plan from the web-based flight planner will load just fine, but quite often I click “load” on the plan in the efb, and it changes to “loading” and just sits there. It loads the origin and sometimes the departure, but it is not consistent.

I also find that I cannot manually enter a flight plan into either the efb, or the in-plane GPS system. It really seems like it is simulating a loss of GPS signal.

Same issue for me

Would this explain the slight difference between the Garmin CDI track vs the line showing on the Compass and EFB?

The CDI doesn’t take into account the Departure (and probable Arrival) pattern. I send the flight plan to avionics but I do nothing further on the Garmin.

It’s possible you are trying to use “Load/Save PLN File” in Career mode, which is disabled. It works* in Free Flight.

*bugs not withstanding
